Just a little SW of you, W of Chatham. Here's some stuff that I learned from the good folks here at ABB, highly condensed for a quick read:

* What you buy / install depends almost totally on your preferences. HD or SD? PVR or no PVR? US / Can / International? Sports-nut / science-geek / news-devotee? There is lots for everybody.

* I chose to go with SD (pic is fantastic anyways, compared to off-air), and lots of PVR toys. Currently picking up DN and BEV, simultaneously. Love FTA -- I am one of those folks that loves the challenge as much as the results. I chose the SV 360 Elite and am completely happy with that choice.

* Pretty much everything my dealer(s) told me was rubbish (example: "you can't get DN and BEV together"). Everything that I learned here on the site was top-notch.

Enjoy the ride!
